The frosty weather.
In the collection "Remembering Mikhail Zoshchenko" there is such an episode.
Once in a large writer’s company, one of the writers (Stenitsch) improvised inspiredly:
- Well, you know, to enter the frostbite home, throw off the shirt, open the cutting door of the buffet, get the crystal graffiti, pour into a large bowl of vodka, infused on lemon crusts, put on a plate of samga...
- And, going to the other door on the chickens, to proclaim: "Barin, eat is given!" - passionately finished for Stenic Zoshchenko under a common whistle.
